Serve a Snack of the First Order with These BB-9E Hanging-Mug Cookies
Featured

When BB-8 first appeared in Star Wars: The Force
Awakens, the helpful little droid immediately captured fan’s
hearts. Now with the release of Star Wars: The Last Jedi,
a dark counterpart has emerged in the form of BB-9E, the
black-plated astromech who serves the First Order.

These cookies look just like the menacing square-domed droid,
and are always at the ready to hang off the side of a tall glass of
Blue Milk, on the
lookout for the Resistance. This holiday — and today on
#NationalCookieDay — enjoy Star Wars: The Last Jedi along
with a few of these fun First Order snacks.

Step 6: Roll out the dough to about 1/4 inch
thick. Use the template to cut out the shapes and transfer onto the
prepped baking sheets.

Step 7: Bake for 10 minutes, let cool on a wire
rack.

Step 8: Start the icing. In a small bowl stir
together the powdered sugar, meringue powder, and black food gel
dye. Slowly add the water until you get a manageable
consistency.

Step 9: Scoop the icing into a piping bag and
with a #4 tip, pipe the edges of cookie. Then go back in and flood
the rest of the area with icing, using a toothpick to reach all the
edges. Let the black icing dry.

Step 10: With a #3 tip and gray icing, add the
details, including the blue sprinkles for the lights. Then use a #3
tip and red icing to add the red sensor. Let the icings dry.

Step 11: When the cookies are dry, place onto
the edge of a mug to serve.
